Riha- The sit-in protest held in front of the Urfa Courthouse by Emine Şenyaşar, whose husband and two sons were killed in the attack carried out on June 14, 2018, in Suruç by the relatives and bodyguards of AKP Urfa MP İbrahim Halil Yıldız, and her son Ferit Şenyaşar, who survived the attack, has entered its 352nd day.

After having weekly phone calls with Fadıl Şenyaşar, who has been held in Elazığ Prison, the Şenyaşar family set off for Urfa from their home in Suruç district.

They issued a statement on the highway

The Şenyaşar family issued a statement on the Suruç-Urfa highway on the 352nd day of their sit-in protest to draw attention to the difficulties they have faced on their way from Suruç to Urfa city center. The family hung a banner reading,” Justice for the Şenyaşar family” with the photos of father Hacı Esvet Şenyaşar and his sons Adil and Celal, who were killed at the Suruç State Hospital. 

"Enough is enough"

“We will keep holding our protest until my child is released. For a year, we have traveled on the Suruç-Urfa highway. My son is being held as a hostage. They should release my son so that we can sit at home. Why aren't the perpetrators arrested? What kind of justice is this? Enough is enough. Do you call this justice?” Emine Şenyaşar said.

"End this persecution"

“The authorities should end this persecution that continues through the judiciary. If the persecution continues, this banner will not be removed at the entrance of Urfa. This banner should be the shame of all the authorities keeping silent in Urfa,” the Şenyaşar family posted on their social media account.
